Nelson fights offshore oil drilling

By james H

Following a flip-flop earlier this year by his senate colleague, Republican Senator Mel Martinez, who voted for an expansion of oil drilling and weakened the ban on drilling off the Florida Gulf Coast, Democratic Senator Bill Nelson is now taking his fight directly to the people of the Sunshine State.

On his senate web site, Nelson allows Florida citizens to sign an online petition that sends a clear message to the federal government and the Bush administration that Floridians "don't want big oil companies setting up rigs or using seismic explosions off Florida's coast."

Nelson, a former astronaut, congressman, and state insurance commissioner, has been a leading critic of the Bush administration's goal of increased oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. While Martinez has changed his position and says that he now opposes oil drilling off Florida's coast, Nelson has been consistent in his opposition.

NTSB urges safety first on 4th of July

Washington, DC - As Americans get ready to enjoy the Independence Day weekend National Transportation Safety Board Acting Chairman Mark Rosenker urges everyone to think safety first this holiday weekend. "Nothing ruins a holiday like a trip to the emergency room so buckle up, don't drink and drive, and wear your personal flotation device if you're boating." Increasing seat belt usage, eliminating drinking and driving, and requiring personal flotation devices (PFDs) for children on boats are issues on the NTSB's list of Most Wanted safety improvements. Fifty- six percent of motor vehicle occupants killed in 2004 were unrestrained. Proper restraint is the best way to protect every person in a vehicle and when adults are buckled up, 87 percent of children are buckled up too. When buckling up children, remember that children up to 8 years old need to be in a child safety seat or booster seat appropriate for their height and weight. In 2004 more than 16,500 people were killed in alcohol-related highway accidents and the Independence Day holiday weekend is the most dangerous weekend of the year in terms of alcohol-related fatalities. So whether as a driver, passenger, rider, or pedestrian, or when boating, play it safe by eliminating those things that impair or distract you. Paying attention pays dividends. In the past 10 years more than 7,500 people have died in recreational boating accidents. Safety Board studies have estimated that at least 37 percent of the operators involved in fatal accidents were known to have or were presumed to have consumed alcohol before their accidents. Like seat belts in automobiles, wearing a PFD greatly improves your chances of surviving a boating accident. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) reported that about 86 percent of victims who drowned as a result of boating accidents were not wearing PFDs. As record numbers of Americans hit the roads to celebrate this Independence Day, keep yourself and your family safe - buckle up, don't drink and drive, and always wear a PFD when on the water. ## Media Contact: Lauren Peduzzi (202) 314-6100 peduzzi@ntsb.gov http://www.ntsb.gov

$12.5M Federal Verdict Leaves Both Sides Unhappy

Lawyers on both sides were disappointed when a federal jury awarded more than $12.5 million to a Pennsylvania polyurethane manufacturer in its dispute with Bayer Corp. over allegedly faulty pieces of factory equipment. The plaintiff was hoping for an award of more than $500 million, but Bayer's defense team argued that the evidence supported an award under $1 million. Hopes for a huge verdict were dashed when the jury rejected the plaintiff's fraud claim, foreclosing the possibility of punitive damages.

Slots Saga

By noemail@noemail.org (Matt Conigliaro)

Today's Sun-Sentinel has this story on the "automatic stay" that took effect when the state's attorney appealed last week's trial court decision that, beginning July 1, Broward County's pari-mutuels are authorized to operate slot machines.

The story indicates that the pari-mutuels question "if an automatic stay should be applied in this case."

Hmmm. Well, by rule in Florida, an order is automatically stayed as to a Florida government entity or person where that entity or person appeals that order. That said, are the Broward County pari-mutuels authorized to operate slots solely by Judge Moe's order, or is there another authorization source, such as the text of this state constitutional amendment that Florida voters approved last year and the Broward County vote earlier this year approving the use of slots at Broward pari-mutuels?

Perhaps such things are just academic. The story indicates the pari-mutuels have announced they will not begin installing slots until regulations are in place. And that doesn't appear imminent.
